Several people are talking, two black and thin children carrying a small wooden basket came over, wooden basket filled with pieces of black ice with gray black luster, two feet covered with sand, broken trouser legs have been soaked in the sea.
The boy walking in front is less than 1.5 meters tall and seems to be less than 12 years old.
The little boy behind is younger, just over 1 meter tall. Although most of the weight of the wooden basket is on the other end, it still makes him stumble all the way and his face turns red.
"Bang!"
The wooden frame was put on the ground. The child in front of him took a few breaths, bowed to the two stewards, and said happily:
"master Hamilton, master Jefferson, this is the first basket of black ice that my brother and I carried today..."
Another child seems to be less daring, at a loss to stand behind his brother, did not dare to say a word.
Jefferson pushed out a floor scale and waved to the two children:
"here, little Martin and little beno, put the wooden basket on it and I''ll weigh it."
They immediately raised the wooden basket, put it on the load-bearing platform of the platform scale, and then curiously watched Jefferson fiddle with it.
Looking at the high rising beam, Jefferson quickly reported the result:
"25 kg, the reward is a copper nale Do you want to book it for you, or do you want to change the bills now? "
"Master, I choose to keep accounts." The boy, who was called "little Martin", became more and more happy. "At the end of the day, we can exchange bills together..."
Jefferson opened an account book, wrote a few words, turned to ask:
"Hi, would you like to have some hot water? There is hot water in the water fountain over there. You can pour it yourself Do you know how to use it? "
"Master, I know." Little Martin grinned.
They trotted to the front of the water dispenser, took out a clean wooden cup from their pocket, and seriously put it under the tap.
When Martin was about to touch the valve, he suddenly saw beno''s eager look on his face. He thought about it, patted his younger brother beno on the shoulder, and motioned beno to turn on the tap valve.
Little beno was surprised in his eyes for a moment. He wiped his hands on his clothes. Then he stretched out his hands carefully and slowly unscrewed the valve.
"Wow
The warm water flows down, and the steaming steam diffuses.
"Wow This magical scene made the two children scream excitedly and stare at the water without blinking. Even the sound of "Gudong" of hot water falling into the cup made them feel pleasant.
After the hot water in the wooden cup was full, little beno was reluctant to close the valve.
They picked up the wooden cup and sipped it. Their faces were filled with joy and satisfaction.
At this moment, these two little guys are very happy.
This kind of happiness is so simple and pure, so infectious that George, who always has a wooden face, can''t help but show a knowing smile.
After the two children finished drinking hot water, Jefferson put down his pen and waved to them: "I''ve already remembered Pour the black ice into the trailer over there. "
"Yes, sir."
Little Martin answered loudly, and together with little beno, he laboriously carried the black ice to the trailer.
"Hey, beno, let''s move a little more today and try to earn 30 copper nards After work, I went to the store to buy a kilogram of dried salted fish. I heard that the price of dried salted fish has been reduced, which is much cheaper than before. "
Little Martin kept talking as he walked.
"Well, I remember that there was a little dried seaweed at home. It was just right for my mother to cook a can of seaweed and salted fish soup Mom, sister and you have not eaten meat for a long time... "
Little beno''s eyes lit up when he heard it, and his head went crazy, swallowing saliva in his mouth.
Looking at the two children walking away, Hamilton suddenly asked:
"it seems that the scales are very warped. This basket of black ice should not be 25 kg, right?"
"Not really." Jefferson replied, "with the wooden basket, it''s only about 24 kg. Except for the wooden basket, it''s less than 22 kg..."
"Ah..." Hamilton shook his head slightly, but said nothing more.
"Mr. Jefferson, do you open up because these two children need money?" Washington asked, flashing his eyes.
"Yes." Jefferson nodded. "Among the thousands of workers carrying black ice, Martin Jr. and beno Jr. are the youngest. Even the wooden basket they use to carry black ice is the smallest. There is no smaller one here."
"I have inquired about it before. In the middle of the harvest month, their father went fishing and never came back. Their mother was lame and couldn''t work, and there was a sister in the family These two little guys must come out to work, or the whole family will starve to death... ""Are there many workers in this mine, such as little Martin and little beno?" Washington was silent for a moment and asked again.
"Very, very much." Jefferson used two "very" in a row. "Well, if there was no black ice mine, more than half of the people here would not be able to survive this winter, especially the elderly and children."
Washington sighed and said nothing more.
At this time, the workers carrying the black ice came back with wooden baskets one after another, and two long lines soon appeared in front of the wooden shed.
Hamilton and Jefferson could not wait to greet Washington. They began to weigh the wooden basket and record the weighing results.
Washington and George took the opportunity to leave.
…………
After walking hundreds of meters, Washington looked back at the busy wooden shed and suddenly made up his mind: "I''m going to Chaka town to meet the God of war Johnny''s suggestion is very right. Under the crown of God of war, he will become the most important strong man in the human world. It is beneficial and harmless to express good intentions to him appropriately. "
"What?" George was surprised. "Under the crown, you are also in charge of the supreme power of upanism, the title of" hand of burning embers ". No one in the human world knows In terms of status, you are no worse than the God of war. Why do you take the initiative to visit each other? "
"Personally, I don''t think you need to do this at all. You just need to send someone to send an invitation to Chaka town and make an appointment with the emperor of war to meet at some place..."
"George, you''ve been following me for a long time. I know you''re thinking about my reputation." Washington said with a smile, "but is it really the same between the crown and the crown?"
He had a whole face, and his gentle face had become extremely dignified.
"Do you think the general crown can kill the black orcs and the upanists? And there''s more than one. "
"Do you think that under the general crown, you can destroy 200000 black Orc armies with your own strength?"
"Under the general crown, can you make your majesty Luther IX sleep and eat uneasily?"
"Under the general crown, can the star sea continent thousands of miles away be as scared as a tiger?"
In the face of the spiritual pressure of upanism, the sweat on George''s forehead fell and he couldn''t say a word.
Washington snorted and said in a deep voice, "I can tell you that none of the top 10 people in the human world, including me, can do even one of these things."
"Even if you count all the upanists in history, I''m afraid that the God of war is one of the top two."
After a pause, Washington said another startling word.
"My personal guess is that maybe the God of war will be the first one to break the barrier of the power of upanism and the limit of upanism in all ages..."
"This This Is that possible? " George was shocked to hear that.
"At least he is the most promising one..." Washington shrugged.
"Then." He squinted at his followers and said, "now do you still think that it''s not worth me to visit him personally under the title of God of war?"
"No George shook his head decisively. "Under the crown, your wisdom is amazing."
